During their first semester away at college, Scarlett and Evie concoct a contest to find their real-life book boyfriends. Scarlett quickly meets Ashton, Dylan, and later, Mason, and must figure out which one she wants before she ends up without any of them.
Metamorphosis is the story of Scarlett's transformation from a young, naive girl to a strong, mature young woman and her search for self-discovery and true love.
Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content and harsh language.

Probably one of the best love triangles I've read in awhile. Definitely one of my top favorites on my shelf.I was surprised by how much I loved this story! I was drawn in and entranced from the beginning... I don't know about you other readers but I can't choose btw the two guys so I'm team Mashton...what else can I say but this book is amazing. The relationships between Scarlett and Ash and then Scarlett and mason are gut wrenching at times when you read their stories but as you watch then grow you cant help but fall in love with both me like Scarlett does... More than a five star read!!!! I read a book blog and was sold...Heart, mind, and soul shattering was this read..It was funny and sad and brought out every freaking emotion one could have ..This book drilled every screw into the emotional roller coaster...so amazingly heartfelt, funny, witty, and HOT!!!! It was so unpredictable I'm still reeling. And I made note of a few of the girls favorite books that I haven't gotten to read!!Loved every page of this book. It's real life, a young woman finding herself, love, lust, loss and real emotion. Erin Noelle will be an author I read more from.

“This is what we are going to do. Tomorrow we are going to recreate your image with a new hairstyle, a little bit of makeup, and new clothes ~ going to get you all sexified. Then tomorrow night we are going to go with my cousin to that party by her school. But before we go, we are going to pick one of the categories of our book boyfriends and our goal for the evening is to find our version of that BB. Each subsequent night we go out together, we will choose a different category until we find exactly what your type is. Shit, it might even help me because I’m quickly finding out what I thought my type was, is actually quite similar to the description of a douchebag,” she explained.
“Okay, I like the sound of this. But once we find our version of the BB, then what do we do?”
“What do you mean ‘then what do we do?’ You talk to him, kiss him, screw him… whatever you want to do with him. We can even make it a little game. Whoever gets farther with their BB that night is the winner, and the loser buys breakfast the next morning. We can whore our way through our book boyfriends until we determine what each of our ‘type’ is.”
“That’s no fair! You are obviously going to win all the time; I’m at such a disadvantage! I don’t just want to give away my virginity to the first guy that comes along to win some game,” I argued.
“Oh Sam,” Evie replied, “I’m not going to just sleep with guys that I don’t want to sleep with just so I don’t have to buy breakfast the next morning or to beat you at some game. The true point of the game is to find a guy that’s a keeper, one you seriously want to date, the side game will just make it more fun until we do!”
I thought about what she said and knew she was right. Evie had devised a perfect way for me to meet different kinds of guys and the game would help me to break out of my shell, lose some of my insecurities, and do things that I would most likely be too timid to try. I’m not sure if it was the empty bottle of wine that sat in the kitchen trash, the possibility of finding the happily ever after I had read about time and again in my countless books, or the fact I definitely did not want to die a virgin, but I found myself saying, “Game on. May the best book whore win.”

Rules of the Game by Elaine Raco Chase

"You need an attitude adjustment!" Samantha Logan told Adam Rourke.

She tried to ignore the fact that his deep voice hit her behind the knees and made her feel oddly off balance. And she was sure those heart palpitations were the result of drinking two five-hour energy drinks in less than thirty minutes and definitely not from a pair of broad shoulders, green eyes and a sexy stubble.

WARNING, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND ASSUMPTION OF THE RISK from Matt Connover, Litigation God: Please do not attempt to read my story in public, as my sexual proclivities have been known to cause squirming in your seat, squeezing of your legs together and unintentional moaning, sometimes with spontaneous bursts of laughter at random moments. If you are offended by the fact that my oral skills are just as accomplished in the bedroom as they are the courtroom, then this book is not for you. There may be moments while reading my story that you get so turned on… so hot and bothered… that your squirming and moaning could turn maniacal in nature and neither I, nor the author, are responsible for the weird looks you may get. Notwithstanding the aforementioned warnings, if you assume the risk and read my tale in public, then I recommend you carry a spare set of panties with you. You will need them and you have been warned.”

My name is Matt Connover. I am a Litigation God.Other lawyers quake before me.Women crawl on their knees just to spend the night in my bed and when I’m finished with them, I walk away without a backward glance.

I am well satisfied with my life and there isn’t a damn thing I’d change about it.

That is, until McKayla Dawson came along.

She was meant to be for one night only.But she got under my skin, and now I want her back underneath my body.

It’s torture working with her in my law firm… day in and day out. But I have to think maybe the Fates have intervened to throw us together because she is unlike anyone I’ve ever known, and thus I need to pay careful attention to these Legal Affairs.

****Confessions of a Litigation God is a stand alone, full length novel. It follows the affair of Matt Connover and McKayla Dawson as told in the Legal Affairs Serial Romance, Volumes 1-6. This book is told strictly from Matt's point of view and has many additional scenes not included in the serial volumes.(less)

Let me start with this... Sawyer nailed it with this book. Out of the park. I loved that this was from Matts point of view and written SO well. Not only did she manage to properly display a mans cockyPoint of view, but she also managed to show his growth through the book. And Mac, wow. I love her sass and mouth. I love that she keeps Matt on his toes and doesn't bend to his will. She says some of the most random things and actually made him laugh, made me laugh. This book is equally erotic and funny, steamy and emotional. It really was a fabulous book. I didn't want to put it down. I found myself hoping for a way Matt was going to take Marissa down. He didn't deserve to be treated the way she was treating him, she wronged him. But all in all, he was right. He had to protect Gabe. I really liked the way sawyer wrote this book. She really did nail the mans POV. There's wasn't a time during the whole book that something didn't sound like something a man would say or do. And how she found that perfect balance of steam and emotion, I'll never know but in don't think she could have done any better. It really was executed flawlessly. Matt and Mac are going to be one of those couples you don't forget and come back to reread bc it's so good.

In a world of shadows, anything is possible. Except escaping your fate.
Ever since she was a child, Ivy has been gripped by visions of strange realms just beyond her own. But when her sister goes missing, Ivy discovers the truth is far worse—her hallucinations are real, and her sister is trapped in a parallel realm. And the one person who believes her is the dangerously attractive guy who's bound by an ancient legacy to betray her.
Adrian might have turned his back on those who raised him, but that doesn't mean he can change his fate…no matter how strong a pull he feels toward Ivy. Together they search for the powerful relic that can save her sister, but Adrian knows what Ivy doesn't: that every step brings Ivy closer to the truth about her own destiny, and a war that could doom the world. Sooner or later, it will be Ivy on one side and Adrian on the other. And nothing but ashes in between…

“What is that?” Adrian’s voice startled me. For a second, I was disoriented, the dream clinging to me as it always did. Yes, I was in a car, but I wasn’t the unknown woman driving away from her baby. That wasn’t real. The glare Adrian leveled at my chest was, though. “Is that a mirror?” He sounded horrified. I looked down. My locket was open, the mirrored side facing me. At some point while I was sleeping, I must’ve opened it. Adrian’s hand shot out, but this time, I was too fast for him. “Don’t you dare,” I snapped, holding it out of his reach. “It’s the only picture I have of my sister after you left everything I own back at that hotel in Bennington!” He lunged again, actually letting go of the steering wheel to reach the side of the car where I held it. With a sharp yank, he wrested the locket from my hands. I tried to snatch it back, but he shoved me into my seat with one hand, finally grabbing the steering wheel with the other. “Are you crazy?” I shrieked. “You could’ve gotten us killed!” If this hadn’t been a lonely stretch of desert road, our careening into the next lane might’ve had permanent consequences. “You’re going to get yourself killed,” was his chilling response. Then, still pinning me to my chair with that single hand, he held my locket up. I gasped. Something dark poked out of the small mirror, like a snake made of blackest smoke. It disappeared when Adrian smashed the mirror against the steering wheel, but an eerie wind whistled through the car, ruffling my hair and stinging my nostrils with its acrid scent. Adrian muttered a word in that unknown language, and I didn’t need a translator to tell me it was a curse. “What was that?” My voice was hoarse. He threw me a pitying glance, which frightened me even more. If he wasn’t angry, we must really be screwed. His next words proved that. “Brace yourself, Ivy. You’re about to meet a demon.”

I love paranormal, like it is my go to genre. Why you ask? simple because it takes you into fantastical places with beings of other worlds/realms. If done right an author can build a world so exciting that you devour the words bit by bit as your mind builds and builds the characters and setting. Let me just say that this author knows her way around this genre.From the beginning I was fascinated and mesmerized. Where ever I went, I had this book in hand. Seriously I did not want to stop reading it. I even dreamt about it! I went to the doctors (post-surgery check up) and one of the girls asked me about the book. She got an earful. I was exciting explaining Ivy's journey to save her sister. I gushed about Adrian and how the sexual tension was so good it hurt. How I laughed so many times at the witty banter between the protagonists and secondary characters. I got her so excited she said she wants to read it. I love that and I was only half way through the book at this point.The second half of the book was just as captivating. Fighting demons, oh hecks no! Even though Ivy had no clue what she was doing she trusted Adrian and her power would surface. I loved that Ivy is very independent but not such a hard ass that she is bitchy. She is very sarcastic and witty which made me connect with her. There is one scene with this demoness that had me laughing. In the middle of almost getting killed Ivy is sarcastic ahhhh so good. Oh and Zach an angel he disguises Ivy when she goes into demon realms and OMG I was busting up when I found out one of the disguises he enchants on Ivy. Best disguise ever. Bathroom scene pg 148-149. I absolutely enjoyed this book from beginning to end. The world and character building were great. I was never left feeling as though something was missing. Trust me if I can speak that highly about a book to someone and at that point had only been half way through then you know I am not messing around. My love for paranormal books when done right get nothing but rave reviews from me and has me thinking and talking about that book for weeks on end. This book has done that. I can not wait for the next book. Don't start with all that awww man its a series crap, because I love series'. Each book if done right brings more to the table then the last. Especially in this genre. This author has done that for me, left me satisfied yet wanting more (kinda like chocolate). If you like paranormal, romance or just a great read then I highly suggest this book.
